Blood, Sweat and Gears: Abel’s ‘500’ Dream Becoming Reality

The garages at Indianapolis Motor Speedway are a flurry of activity as teams from the NTT INDYCAR SERIES are hard at work, pushing their respective machines down Gasoline Alley and onto pit lane for last Saturday’s GMR Grand Prix. “It’s been very interesting running back and forth,” said Brunner, exhaling a cloud of smoke like it’s lifting a temporary weight off his shoulders. “Luckily, the guys on the INDYCAR side that’s here are very experienced, and we’re just really still building. “Chevrolet came Thursday with engineers in the afternoon and actually started the car,” Brunner said. “It’s been a lot of different emotion,” Brunner said. “Fingers crossed that the car just does what it’s supposed to do, and we can get through that (ROP) program,” Brunner said. I already knew I had a great crew, but for them to work as hard as they have on the car and then we’re handing it over to a completely different group of people, we’re going to have a few INDY NXT guys on this crew because they’ve earned it.
